Muscles vs. Love Handles

Here is an article from the L.A times that mentions Dwayne and some other actors who have buffed up for hollywood movies.

Dwayne Johnson — Luke Hobbs, ‘Fast Five’

(Jaimie Trueblood / Universal Pictures)

Height: 6′ 5″

Weight: 280 pounds

Heroic secret: To gain 30 pounds for the action hero role, Johnson ate 6,000 to 8,000 calories a day, took a daily multivitamin and glutamine supplement and followed a regimen of “sweat, spit and sometimes training so hard I throw up a little bit in my mouth,” he told the Los Angeles Times.

Jason Momoa isn’t the only actor whose T-shirts have gotten a lot tighter recently: Dwayne Johnson packed 30 pounds onto his already brawny 6-foot-4-inch frame to grapple as a lawman opposite meaty Vin Diesel in “Fast Five.” Chris Hemsworth gained so much bulk to wield “Thor’s” giant, magic hammer convincingly that his costume didn’t fit. And Chris Evans added plenty of patriotic sinew for “Captain America: The First Avenger.”

Johnson — a pro wrestler and former major college football player whose size helped him land his first Hollywood roles in movies such as 2002’s “The Scorpion King” — pared a few years ago and dropped his ring name, The Rock, to take on softer films such as “The Tooth Fairy.” [full article]
